SRI's Executive Director, Don Peterson
It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our colleague and Executive Director, Don Peterson.
Donald (Buck) Rubert Peterson, 65, of Crystal Falls, passed away Jan. 3, 2022, in his office from natural causes. He was born Nov. 7, 1956 in Crystal Falls, son of the late Rubert and Elona Peterson.
Nothing made Buck happier than spending time with family and friends and bringing them together. Some of the fondest memories he liked to share were from time spent at his camp built by his father and uncle. He spent a lot of time there in his childhood with his father and uncle, and later with his two sons and other family and friends.
His drive to impact real change on the world led him to start a business, Renewable Resource Solutions, in 2001 and that had been his career ever since. He was proud and always motivated to continue growing his business and completing the work that had been so fulfilling for him for so long. He worked tirelessly for his business all those years without ever missing the important moments in life, always being an amazing, selfless friend to all he knew. He lived in service to people, joyfully.
